[x86-64] WiFi support for Qualcomm WCN785x ath12k?

Is there any way to support this QCNCM865 M.2 Wireless card with Bluetooth?

Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 WCN785x

Live image of kubuntu-25.10 runs it flawlessly.

I tried adding the firmware files to /Configfiles/firmware/ per the wiki but this isn't working.

The Generic image is not currently built with CONFIG_ATH12K enabled hence adding firmware doesn't achieve anything. I'll share an LE13 test image later in the day that includes the missing module and firmware. If you can confirm that works I'll send the changes upstream to our main repo.

Thanks, that would be great!

See if this LE13 image works? https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…-12.90.1.img.gz

If not working, run journalctl | paste and share the resulting URL so I can see the system log for clues.
